She has lost so much weight that she now looks emaciated and her hair that use to look and feel like a bunny, is now very coarse and thin. She looks just terrible poor ol gal. So I know what your going thru. When we go visit our sons in Morgan Hill and San Francisco, she stays in her little crate. Of course she has no eyes, so she stays in bed all the time, but I do put her out every hour for exercise and potty. She also has to get a bath each morning from peeing and laying in it. It's all so sad when they get like this isn't it. I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. I do come across a bit harsh but not meaning to. |
Thanks! I do understand that is so sad she doesn't have her eyes it appears you are in much pain and worry, It worries me about tilly because I know it wont be long before I loose her and I cannot bring myself to put her down like my daughter suggested
I just can't! she isn't in any pain just part of the cushings condition, she has hair loss and her belly is like a little potbelly pig but she still trys to play and has alot more life in her, I dont feel I am being selfish I just want her to go on her own time. I do understand your pain it is terrible to see them go through these changes. I have been following your advice I keep them crated for an hour then take them out to potty then back to our room and play with them for awhile while the pee pads are in place then keep tilly in her crate all night because she had peed the bed the other night so I know the stages of her condition are getting the best of her.
the good news is the escrow on my home will close in 10 days so they both will be able to settle in... I hope! sami is doing so much better he wasn't urinating like tilly but enough to catch him at it
Im hoping they both will get back on track when they are in their own home and I install a new doggy door, I talked with my daughter about replacing the carpet in the bedroom we have been staying on and she decided to have carpet specialist come out which they did and he tested the carpet for moisture and crystals enzymes? he said since I have been using the natures miracle and since the pads are always down it shouldn't need to be replaced, but the pad under the carpet may have to if there was spill overs from the pad which I might have missed? so we scheduled a appt for them to clean and check the pads and if the pad are ruined, I will replace it, anyway I wish you the best with your baby too! thanks again for your advice
